This is my first work, at least the first with a definite and articulate structure, and it marks an important moment because it is from this attention to a second level of reality that many of my later works will be based and developed. The series is structured with precise sections: women, men, couples, children, animals, rituals, culture, celebrities, landscape and nature. My focus on the destruction of direct experience - the invasion of images into our living environments - begins here. In the work I wanted to offer an analysis of true and falsehood, of the gap between what we are and the image of what we’re supposed to be - and ultimately to think critically about the denial and concealment of truth. The theme of reality and fiction, of being and seeming, draws attention to the destruction of direct experience - this shift to the world of images - and it requires us to strive, daily, to see beyond the surface, and to distinguish between true and false.
